Thinking about Illari, and where she fits into the larger Overwatch universe.

Of course, the default assumption is that she will join Overwatch, but then I also started thinking...what if she got recruited by Talon?

She's young, alone, emotionally compromised and therefore extremely vulnerable. I'm envisioning a scenario where her powers get out of control again (I imagine she still doesn't have full control over them yet, and still experiences deadly "bursts", especially when she's battling strong emotions), and, after a particularly bad outburst, she gets approached by Doomfist. He shows no fear of her, and tells her that her power is incredible, but that she needs someone to help her learn to control them. Of course there'd be pushback from "I don't need anyone" Illari, but Doom plays the long game, especially when he wants something. And God would he want Illari's power on his side.

Illari is tough and incredibly strong, but she's barely an adult, she's got nobody in the world to look out for her, and, maybe most dangerously, she's purposeless. A charismatic person like Doomfist assuring her he could help her make the world a better place, that she could master her powers with Talon's help, that she could ensure what happened to her at her ceremony never happens again...I don't know. I think she could be manipulated into ending up with them, at least temporarily (though of course I would hope not - poor girl needs recovery, not Talon's BS)
